Re: gtk_plug_* and gtk_socket_* family for non X11 builds

[Raul Dias <chaos swi com br>]

It works perfectly!!

Now I can have Gtk2-perl apps without worring about X11 :)

If there is a patch for Win32, maybe it should exclude known targets to
not have as other might be implemented/accepted later on.

There was a small modification to the patch.  It complains about the
comments just before the #ifdefs.  I think you can't have comments
between the MODULE tag and the function definiton (XS limitation).
